Beginner-friendly and Advanced classes, a proper kids programme and strength & conditioning - all under one roof. Your first two weeks are free.

No egos, no initiation. Just good training.
Fortitude is a working gym in Suffolk built on one idea: consistent training changes people. Our beginners classes assume you've never touched a gi - our advanced and no-gi sessions give experienced grapplers somewhere hard to work.

Walked in with zero experience and never felt out of place. The beginners class is genuinely welcoming and the coaching is top level.
Brilliant kids classes
My son's confidence has come on massively. Structured, disciplined and he never wants to miss a session.
Great community
Friendly, no egos, and everyone helps each other improve. The open mats are the highlight of my week.
